BetUS.com Predicts Which NBA Coach Is the First To Be Fired
November 30, 2006

While the 2006/2007 NBA season is just settling into a groove, speculation, criticism and debate is in full effect all over the league regarding which teams will rise, who will fall and where will the first shake-up occur? As any professional sport, there may be highs and lows but the only thing constant is change.

In light of this constant state of flux, BetUS.com, the largest and most respected sportsbook on the web, posted odds on which coach will get the axe first. Isiah Thomas of the New York Knicks is favored as the first to go with 2/1 odds.

ANALYSTS AT BETUS.COM POSTED THE FOLLOWING ODDS:

Atlanta Hawks, Mike Woodson - 20/1
Boston Celtics, Doc Rivers - 150/1
Charlotte Bobcats, Bernie Bickerstaff - 10/1
Chicago Bulls, Scott Skiles - 5/1
Cleveland Cavaliers, Mike Brown - 50/1
Detroit Pistons, Flip Saunders - 20/1
Indiana Pacers, Rick Carlisle - 25/1
Miami Heat, Pat Riley - 50/1
Milwaukee Bucks, Terry Stotts - 30/1
New Jersey Nets, Lawrence Frank - 5/1

Orlando Magic, Brian Hill - 150/1
Philadelphia 76ers, Maurice Cheeks - 50/1

Washington Wizards, Eddie Jordan - 5/1
Dallas Mavericks, Avery Johnson - 50/1
Denver Nuggets, George Karl - 150/1

I think you have to like Seattle SuperSonics, Bob Hill - 22/1 ;D

The Sonics were not to happy with him last year and they are off to a bad start this year.
